Chapter 555
After a lively afternoon, calm descended as night fell.
In the past, Liberty had been particularly attentive when setting up this small home, investing a substantial amount of money into it. Now, however, all the appliances she had purchased were gone. Unable to fit them all into her rented house, she chose to keep only the most commonly used items and sold the rest as pre-owned instead of transferring them to her sister’s place.
This felt like a bittersweet farewell to her past.
Since Liberty’s rented house had yet to be cleaned, cooking was inconvenient. Therefore, she invited everyone out to a hotel for dinner.
This dinner also marked a celebration of her newfound freedom.
Liberty joyfully embraced her past farewell. Meanwhile, Hank was also busy.
He arrived at Jessica’s rented apartment at nine o’clock in the evening.
“Jessica, is this all you have p>
Noticing that Jessica hadn’t packed much, Hank approached her, pulling a suitcase. “Have you finished packing everything p>
“I usually live alone, so I don’t have many belongings. I’m all packed up. I threw away everything I didn’t want,” she replied.
Jessica clutched her cherished bag and a plush toy she hugged at night as she followed Hank out the door. “I’ve stopped renting the unit p>
“Good. My place is much better than this apartment,” he said.
“Has Liberty moved out p>
As Jessica locked the apartment door, she removed the key from her keychain and handed it to the security personnel downstairs, who was related to the apartment owner.
either.” What she meant was that if the security guard quickly cleaned the unit, they could keep a lot of the appliances she left behind. After receiving the key, he turned to his wife and asked her to clean the unit. Hank pulled the suitcase and walked toward his car with Jessica while saying, “Liberty sent me a message before dark. She said she had already moved out.” At the same time, she sent him her bank account number so he could transfer money directly to Sonny. She planned to delete Hank’s contact information and phone number. “Remember to tell her to return the house key.” Since they were divorced, Jessica didn’t want Liberty to have the chance to return to the house again. From now on, the mistress of that house was her, Jessica Yates. Later, she planned to take a picture of the house and send it to her family group, showing them the newlywed home her boyfriend had prepared for her. It was sure to spark a wave of envy. “Liberty said she left the keys to the house with my neighbor across from my unit. I’ll pick it up later.” Once they got into the car, Hank reassured her, “Don’t worry, Jessica. Liberty isn’t the kind of person who regrets her decisions. In the future, I’ll only belong to you. No one will compete with you for me.” He leaned over and kissed Jessica on the cheek, saying in a husky voice, “Let’s go out for a few rounds tonight.” Jessica playfully pushed him away, smiling. “We have to work tomorrow.” “I can give you the day off to rest at home. You can go shopping once you’re well-rested. Liberty took all the things she bought. Just buy whatever you want for our house.” “Okay.” Jessica dreamed of having a suite in
the city.
Now that she finally had the chance to own a home, she needed to decorate it with care for both Hank and herself.
Her taste was certainly superior to Liberty’s. Jessica planned to make the home cozier than before, ensuring that Hank would want to come home every day.
As Hank drove, he discussed their future with Jessica.
The two of them envisioned their beautiful life ahead and eventually returned to Bright Boulevard.
Upon entering the residential area, Jessica exclaimed, “The environment here is great, and the occupancy rate is very high. Plus, we’re close to Wiltspoon Wood High, so we’re in its catchment area. Hank, you really had good foresight in buying a place here p>
“Yeah, I chose this location because of its proximity to Wiltspoon Wood High and being in the catchment area. Luckily, I acted quickly. If I had waited, I wouldn’t have been able to afford it now; prices are just too high p>
The rate at which house prices had skyrocketed was beyond the reach of most people.
Hank parked his car in his designated parking space.
